If you\u2019re a graduate, it\u2019s important to do all you can to overcome this fear. If not, you\u2019ll find it difficult to bag your dream job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rethink your profile<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A number of studies have revealed that employers do check potential employee\u2019s profiles. If your LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter account isn\u2019t something you want to share with your future boss, now is the time to change it! Make it something you\u2019re proud to show to the professional industry. Most importantly, make time to comment on newsworthy sources.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Create a portfolio<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether it be a final project at University or a particular school project you\u2019re proud of and did exceptionally well in, when it comes to showing off your talent, employers are more likely to enroll graduates who have something solid to show them. However, when creating a portfolio, thinking outside of the box a bit can help you to stand out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Networking events<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Networking events aren\u2019t just for those who are employed but also, as recent statistics indicate, for those who want to be employed. Attend as many networking events and careers fairs as you can. You never know, you might meet your next boss!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Extracurricular activities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Out-of-school activities are an asset to all as well. This shows you are interested in other affairs asides from study alone and often indicates skills such as productivity, motivation and teamwork. Employers embrace these skills, as they can be applied to a number of roles in the working environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Work experience<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you can, sign up to a work experience role in your chosen field. Whether it\u2019s paid or not, studies show that those with work experience on their resumes are twice as likely to get a job as those who don\u2019t have it.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for your next graduate role, speak to Discovery Graduates today.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can students land the perfect job in 2016?
